A Galax of blossom
the woodland garden,
Solomons seal and Euphorbia too.
Cinderella
a melt down of lavender blue.
A walkway abode of enchantment.

Got no Amber or her sagely advice!
She's off to an improvement course
for aspiring  plantsmen.
The weekends don't have
to be set in stone,
theres importance in independent thinking,
its not to be feared.
Buy some feed for the pigeons
decide between euphorbia  or
euphoria
the difference is emphatic
and see what comes.

I’ve got to tell you,
yes, you, Muse,
that you can be a real little ****, sometimes,
just flirting with me
and merely swirling your skirts.
And I’m so ******* vulnerable!
You hear that? I’m weak!
I’ve been meekly saying yes, yes,
thankee missus, so pathetically obsequious,
while tugging my forelock, or something else,
before scribbling about these ridiculously tantalizing
little glimpses you’ve been flashing me,
just the merest ****** of insight,
when I so desperately need, you know,
the whole ******* vision, the complete picture.
Yes. The whole enchilada!
Now look here.
You’ve got to go a hell of a lot farther than just flirting with me!
I need some of your hot little chilli, see?
Something, you know, incendiary!
You hear me?
Maybe sink my teeth right into your euphorbia poissonii!
Yes!
Even if this ******* well kills me.

Yes, I know. It's really hopeless trying to talk to my Muse. She's so erratic, unfaithful and such a terrible tease. But I still keep hoping...

Pain Is The Sky When It Crumbles And Crashes Burying Your Dreams Beneath Its Merciless Suffocating Weight,

Pain Is The Storm That Shreds Your Body Apart Each Raindrop A Blade Each Gust A Scream Of Despair,

Pain Is The Spell That Binds Your Soul In Chains Locking Your Light Within A Prison Of Endless Night,

Pain Is The Knife That Kisses Your Vena Cava Spilling Rivers Of Agony From A Wound That Never Heals,

Pain Is The Flood That Drowns Your Veins In Sorrow Surging Through Arteries With Waves Of Torment Untamed,

Pain Is The Poison That Clogs Your Throat A Venomous Chokehold Stealing The Last Breath Of Your Fading Hope,

Pain Is The Grinder That Severs Your Head Gears Of Suffering Crushing Every Whisper Of Sanity You Owned,

Pain Is Euphorbia Burning Your Eyes A Venomous Bloom That Blinds You With Tears Of Eternal Regret,

Pain Is Her Love False Yet Intoxicating Stealing Your Life While Leaving You Chained To A Grave Of Longing,



She Is Both The Pain And The Drug Of That Pain A Curse You Crave A Torment That Lasts Forever.
Taken thee at noon
From a living plant
Ornamental one
With pale green flowers
It’s a “euphorbia”!

By RRCY
A Rehab for Youth
Maybe by lads there
Or an employee
Or social worker

About to enter
Their room for lecture
For orientation
Eleven Twenty
Before the lunch break

On fence of entrance
To the lecture room
Alongwith other
Ornamental plants
It’s in Guimaras

On field trip again
But first time in there
With Crim. 2 students
A new experience
With peculiar pipz!

My Poem No. 264
Picked thee from rush day
About New Year, hey
So end in fourteenth
Not on leaf thirteenth
Front house “euphorbia”!

To us it belongs
Despite many thorns
Few people out here
Perhaps to drink beer
Elder relatives

Twelfth month – thirty-first
Year’s final outburst
Twenty-Eleven
Has come to an end
Last sunlight ‘bout six

On plant’s row outside
Along the roadside
Leans on bamboo fence
Beside wooden bench
Just in front our house

This year’s Toladas
Arrive at its last
Turning point it is
To next year’s new leaves
Oh Happy New Year!
